The road to whittlieburn

  • Scenic family-run smallholding site 10 minutes' drive from Largs
  • Within 20 minutes' drive of ferries to Great Cumbrae and Bute
  • Collect and buy fresh eggs from the flock of free-range hens on site
Some will be making a swift stopover on a Scotland tour, others looking to settle in for a lengthier Largs-based break; South Whittlieburn Farm’s owner Katie is happy to welcome all sorts of guests at her family-run Ayrshire smallholding. Bag a spot here in the stunning Brisbane Glen to share the place with the horses and ponies that graze the surrounding fields, and a flock of free-range hens that generously provide fresh eggs for guests to collect and purchase for a farm breakfast. If your own animal pal fancies coming along for the ride, dogs are welcome here – the little farm track that runs by Noddsdale Water lends itself well to paw-stretching outings. Noted those stunning views from the site? (If not, skip off to flick through pics at this point…) They give you a bit of a clue that this is a most scenic area, whether facing inland towards the Clyde Muirshiel Regional Park or out to sea and the Firth of Clyde. Getting down to the seaside is fairly straightforward, as the popular resort of Largs is a 10-minute drive away – home to lots of shops and places to eat as well as a viking centre, boat trips and a splendid seaview golf course.

What customers say

This friendly, family-run farm campsite has a relaxed vibe in beautiful country settings, a short drive from Largs. Guests loved the clean, modern facilities and meeting the farm animals, a hit with kids. The food truck was a popular perk. While reviews were mostly great, some found spotty cell service and noted occasional issues with site assignments or bathroom cleanliness when busy.

Liked The site and owners were friendly and helpful. It was quiet and spacious, close to Largs and great walks for the dogs. Donleys in the field and beautiful countryside.

Disliked We were given a piece of paper with numbers and told this is the wifi. No wifi appeared and there was no connection to anything with those numbers- bizarre.
When we arrived the second evening, someone else was on our pitch. It took a minute to get a new one.

Liked This is a beautiful place to stay with so much near by to do. The toilets and showers were always clean, the owners were very friendly. We got stuck in traffic and arrived quite late but we called to explain and it was not a problem. We loved the two donkeys and chickens wandering round on a morning. We're already planning when we can go back.

Local attractions

Got the urge to flex your golfing arms? As well as the course in Largs, there are several other courses along this stretch of coastline – Royal Troon, Prestwick and Gailes Links courses are all within an hour’s drive. If you’re more into watching sports than thwacking golf balls, aim for Ayr’s racecourse (an hour’s drive away). Sticking a little closer to home, plan a bit of time in Largs – wandering along the promenade, getting into the viking spirit at the Vikingar Centre or having a bit of splash time in the swimming pool. Just outside town (15 minutes’ drive from the site) is Kelburn Castle, a mural-adorned ancient pile whose estate has a waterfall to hike to, a sculpture trail to stroll along and (shhh…) a secret forest to seek out. Looking longingly beyond Largs? Board a ferry from the harbour to the island of Great Cumbrae for bike rides and watersports, or head to Wemyss Bay (20 minutes) for the boat to Bute. Either way, keep eyes out for seals and seabirds lounging along the shoreline.
